  GSTs have been originally named ‘ligandins’ because of their capacity to bind large ligand molecules (of molecular weight >400 Da) (Oakley et al., 1999). At least three separate Fmoc-Ser-OH have been reported for xenobiotics within the H-site; only one is for CDNB (Ralat and Colman, 2004). Usually,

  2022-07-30

  

  Historically, pharmacological investigations have been carried out by first identifying a biological response to a ligand, and then subsequently using that ligand to identify the receptor(s) responsible for the response (Wilson et al., 1998). However, this approach needed revision with the discovery

  Introduction Nicotinic Thiomyristoyl receptor has been used clinically for more than 50 years [1] since it has anti-atherogenic effects, including the ability to reduce triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and elevate high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) [2].

  Materials and methods Results Discussion and conclusions Our data demonstrate that native and 2-OMe-LPC analogues are GPR119 ligands and activate insulin secretion from βTC-3 pancreatic cells. LPC 18:1 was the first proposed endogenous ligand for GPR119 [1], however natural LPC has limited

  Introduction Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive dicarbonyl metabolite formed in cells mainly by the spontaneous degradation of triose phosphates, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (Rabbani and Thornalley, 2012). It exists in a wide range of organisms, including proto

  Fatty acids have been repeatedly shown to increase the responsiveness of pancreatic islets to glucose both in vitro and in vivo[6]. The recent identification of GPR40 as a receptor for free fatty acids that is localized to the pancreatic islet cells has therefore stimulated interest in obtaining sma

  2022-07-29

  

  The expression of GLUT receptors throughout the body could be considered a potential source for off-target effects even for engineered glucose-conjugated nanomedicines, as there are at least 12 types of GLUT transporters in the body, including GLUT1 in erythrocytes and the blood-brain barrier, as we

  In order to test whether the enhanced hyperpolarization in the presence of increasing amounts of extracellular Ca2+ could be due to an ionophore effect of NS309, red cell uptake of 45Ca and partition of 45Ca into a water/n-octanol phase +/−100 μM NS309 were determined. However, no indication of ion

  The expression and localization of Cx43, Cx46 and Cx50 in the anterior pituitary vary with physiological activities and with various conditions associated with both natural and pathological changes in hormone secretion. Anterior pituitary Cx43 and Cx50 levels increase and exhibit a more widespread d

  Gap junctions, hemichannels and connexins: Molecular characteristics and function Cell-to-cell communication is of extreme importance in tissue homeostasis, which is maintained by transmission of regulatory signals (Fig. 1). Intercellular communication via gap junctions (GJs) represents one of th

  To improve the preferential GalR2 binding, we synthesized M1152 where the N-terminal Gly residue was deleted, in analogy with previously designed M871 (Sollenberg et al., 2006). In addition to the poor affinity of M871 for GalR1, a recent study showed that it also hardly recognized by GalR3 (Sollenb

  Seizures, in turn, selectively modulate the multidrug resistance transporter of GalR in the hippocampus. Thus, pilocarpine-induced SE led to a 30% downregulation of GalR2 without affecting GalR1 (personal communication with T. Bartfai, Scripps Research Institute). Therefore, despite the fact that G

  Growing evidence supporting the anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective effects of FPR antagonists led to the screening of commercial libraries for novel small-molecule FPR antagonists. As result of these screening efforts and/or structure–activity relationship (SAR)-directed design and synthesis, a

  While earlier reports on ferroptosis did not clarify mitochondrial damage and consequent death signaling in this paradigm of oxidative death, evidence from recent studies in neuronal systems strongly suggested a mechanistic link between enhanced lipid peroxide formation and loss of mitochondrial int
